I apologize I keep asking this, but I decided to create a poll because I’m just hung up on if we should forgo [name_m]Simon[/name_m]. Our last name is [name_u]Baker[/name_u].

If you voted, what country are you voting from?

3

I voted no and I’m from the US.

4

I do, but it’s not a strong association even living in Australia. I really don’t think it’s an issue. [name_m]Simon[/name_m] is a wonderful, classic name.

5

I voted no and I’m from the US! Looked up the name to confirm I’ve never seen or heard of him. I may just be living under a rock though, who knows :joy:

6

No I don’t know who that is. I am from the Midwest US.

But [name_m]Simon[/name_m] and [name_u]Baker[/name_u] are pretty common so it wouldn’t be like naming your child [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_m]Granger[/name_m] or something that’s much more uncommon and very tied to a character/celebrity/person.

I’m from the US. I voted no, because I know the name, but couldn’t quite place it. I was fairly sure he was some kind of actor, though. Is that who you’re talking about?

United States, here! It’s a very striking name, but not one I would shy away from naming a kid. Plus, [name_m]Simon[/name_m] is so darling!
I’d just avoid using names related to the man in other places. ([name_f]Rebecca[/name_f], for example? Not a good sister name. [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]? Bad middle.)

I voted no, I’m from the US.

11

I voted Yes and I’m from the US.

I don’t see why you can’t use it. It is a name worthy of consideration.

12

No idea. I’m in the US.

13

I’m from the UK. Yes, I know who he is. [name_f]My[/name_f] family and I watched The Mentalist, his show, when it was running the first time and I like him in The Devil Wears Prada, but I haven’t seen him in anything new or relevant for years.

It’s not a bad association by any means and [name_m]Simon[/name_m] [name_u]Baker[/name_u] is great, such a classic, strong name.

Yes, but I’m from Australia. I think it’s fine. It would be different if you were thinking of [name_u]Harry[/name_u] and your last name was [name_m]Potter[/name_m]. :sweat_smile:

I voted yes and I’m from Australia but I think it’s fine. Both names are quite common so it doesn’t sound strange.

16

I’m from the US. I had no idea who he is. I agree with other posters that the two names are common so I don’t think it’s a big deal.

17

@KJGlitter yep! That’s who I’m referring to. He seems like a great guy, never heard anything bad about him, but just concerned if it’s too strong of an association. Thank you!

18

I do not. I’m in the US.

19

No. I’m from the US.

I’m from the USA & I don’t. :confused:
